All MFC asks from Jack Watts is effort and intent.

It would appear that is too much for Jack.

Drop this precious princess back to Casey FFS.

He's perhaps the worst wet-weather player I've ever seen. Just has no physical presence, and whenever it's the slightest bit dewy he gives us next to nothing.

Bulldogs do not have one competent key position player at either end of the ground. Morris is a good player, but not big enough for the roles he's being asked to do. It would like us having Col Garland as our only good defender without the help of Frawley, McDonald et al. Regardless of the outcome tonight I'd be really worried if I were a Bulldogs fan.

I love how Dean Terlich hits the footy.

Also, Nathan Jones trying to tackle even when he is laying on his back.

Jones and Viney play desperate.

Oh my JKH!!

Serious question. Has viney got a right foot?

Great kick JKH!

JKH slots a tricky goal, which is just about the only thing he has done tonight.

I'm surprised he's been so rarely sighted. It seems like tonight is ideal conditions for a player like him.

He is great in our forward line

I shake my head in disbelief when I watch Dommy T, we are SO lucky to have this kid.

What a freak of nature, composed, poised, classy and uses it well.. He is everything Tom Scully isn't.

Serious question. Has viney got a right foot?

He is a left footer. Do any lefties have a right?

Jack Watts desperately drags his opponent down and saves a certain goal. That's what we like to see.

Great desperate tackle Watts.

Jack Watts shows some pre-draft pace, WTF!

Where that been the past 5 years Jack?

He is a left footer. Do any lefties have a right?

I do, but I worked my arse off to get it.

Watts saved a goal there

Dunn is in AA form, no doubt.

Well done Jack Watts

Saved a certain goal with that chase and tackle

Viney is killing it.

Last year if Jones was quiet we'd be 7-8 goals down.

Jonesy needs a few boys to body up on picken.

After last week's effort, the umpiring has been really good tonight. Let the game go and things will sort themselves out.

I kind of can't believe we're down at half time. We've dominated this game all night.

If jones can break this tag it's game over, they are a man down I expect to win this now

I agree about umpiring been fantastic

That was the most important tackle Watts has laid.

Frustrating first half, we've had the better of most area but some very soft goals and poor errors have given the dogs the lead. We're playing the game on our terms but just not getting reward for it.

We are in a very good position given it looks like the dogs are down a rotation and I think out forwards can stretch their defence but there's plenty of work to be done.

Second half, Jones, Vince, Viney have to take control of the mid field or we are going to struggle. The forward line can function if the ball is delivered.

Everytime I see Paul Roos looking on I feel so confident.......
